ESPN reporting Bosh doesn't want to play in Cleveland, even with LeBron. Not his kind of town.

But then there's this:

The Cavaliers are hopeful that will change, because in Cleveland, Bosh can meet two of his top priorities: playing with James, and getting a six-year, $125 million contract.

If Bosh joins a team without doing a sign-and-trade, he will be able to sign only a five-year deal worth $96 million. He is determined not to leave that $29 million on the table, according to sources.

If he really is "determined not to leave that $29 million on the table", then he might have to take the S&T to Cleveland. Unless he can convince Wade to sign with the Bulls, and then convince the Raptors to S&T him to Chicago.

If Wade stays put and LeBron signs with the Cavs, would Bosh rather join Wade in Miami and walk away from $29 million, or take the money and play with LeBron?

Bosh thinks it means more to HIS legacy for him and LBJ/Wade to both switch teams. Otherwise he looks like the coat tails guy. You know, how everyone was saying LeBron going to join a better supporting cast would somehow hurt his legacy.

Thats correct,

he said the rub with Bosh in Cleveland is he really doesn't want to play Center,especially against the studs in the east.

Its why Heywood was all part of the rumor mill.

Personally some of the sign and trade compensation involving Andy and Hickson is disturbing

Though I think criticism of Broussard has been warranted, I think he's getting a bum rap on this one. It appears obvious that the Cavs and Raptors have, directly or indirectly, discussed the deal and that LBJ has worked behind the scenes to get Bosh to agree. That's pretty much all Broussard said. Never said Bosh would agree to it.

One of three things happens now: A) Toronto changes its stance with other teams, B) Chicago panics and adds Noah to the deal or C) Bosh is the one who has to make a choice: 6 yrs with CLE or 5 yrs with someone else.

Sure, that's why the tea leaves read that he is most likely to end up in Miami.

Damn sure wouldn't want to lose both.

Throw in the fact we may be giving away yet another draft pick in the rumoured deal and it gets a bit more worrying

I'd rather take Al Jefferson, giving up less

The more I hear about Bosh not being thrilled about playing in Cleveland and the only consideration he's giving it is because of the extra year and extra guaranteed $29m the more I want someone else instead
